* Share Briar offline: From within the app you can share the app to others who don't have it installed
* useful during internet shutdown and natural disasters to bootstrap Briar connectivity in a community if at least one device has Briar already
* uses a wifi hotspot that offers a download of briar to other devices
* Connect via removable drives
* Android phones can use SD cards or flash drives (usually via adapters) to store data
* Briar makes use of that capability to store encrypted messages that can be physically transported to the recipient and imported and decrypted there.
* Messages delivered this way arrive just like they would over WiFi, Bluetooth or Tor.
* RFC 1149 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_over_Avian_Carriers
* https://grobox.de/presentations/2017-12-30_Briar_at_34c3.html#/24
Already released (in 1.3.x):
* connecting via bluetooth (if not working automatically): New Android devices limit Bluetooth use for privacy which requires going through this new connecting feature once to make connections via bluetooth work at all and automatically from there onhttps://code.briarproject.org/briar/briar/-/issues/2180Design sync client for mailbox properties2022-04-01T13:18:12ZakwizgranDesign sync client for mailbox propertiesDesign a BSP client for syncing mailbox properties (onion address, auth token, incoming and outgoing folder IDs) between contacts.

Unlike the transport properties client we want to send different properties to each contact, so it probably makes sense to use a separate client, but the basic design can be similar (include a version number in each update, delete all but the latest update from each contact).Mailbox: Sync mailbox propertiesDaniel LublinDaniel Lublinhttps://code.briarproject.org/briar/briar-desktop/-/issues/43Milestone planning2021-12-06T14:25:33ZMikolai GütschowMilestone planningWhat was started by @sebkur in !19 is now available in the wiki:
